I mostly use a computer for playing games on facebook and big fish. Would this be a good computer to use for this when traveling?

Yes! I use mjnd when I travel all the time and it is convenient and easy to carry around. It works with Facebook games well.

Well it is kind of slow for gaming on facebook. I play Cityville and it is slow on the chromebooks. Mine is the samsung 550 1.3 ghz celeron with 4gb of ram and it is kind of slow compared to my full blown laptop with 2.3ghz and 6gb ram. If your going to use it as a device to surf the web and do youtube and business stuff its pretty good. For gaming it doesn't do as good as i want. I also play Tradesfield stock game on facebook and it does that pretty good but not Cityville but i do play zcityville on the chromebook just alot slower.

Its good for most anything you want to do on the internet. This laptop has a lot of processing power and plenty of memory.

I can't honestly say, it is fine for Internet and watching videos, but whether it's fast enough for Any serious gaming? I have no idea. Probably a stretch. It is obviously more powerful than any Windows 8 tablet but this is far from a desktop replacement. I really like it so far for surfing the net. The touch screen works well and screen resolution is fine for average users. But this is basically an entry level Lenovo after all.

You will be better off getting a gaming PC. Also DH Texas poker has the specs. You could try the Kobo

Depends on what your looking for..supremely portable 909 or desktop somewhat portable..I have the Grundig and love it..Ive only read some reviews on the 909 ..I wouldn't sell my Grundig for one of them..

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

This helps a lot. However, there is still the question about the functionality. Is it worth the price to surf and play games versus a few more dollars and getting an inexpensive laptop. Maybe by the time software comes out to support this device it will be worth it.

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.

Just about any computer that has enough memory will work. I recently upgraded to a Dell 660 Inspiron with 6 GB and love it. I play games on Facebook and Microsoft and it is a world of difference. Plus I can play music that I love on the background which adds to the experience.

Yes. The hardware for this netbook would not be a problem. But is it worth upgrading the OS? You really need to look at what you're going to do with this computer. I have windows 7 starter still on it, and does everything I need such as web-surfing, watching movies, editing video, using open office, etc. Heck, I can even play games like swgemu. BUT, you will need to upgrade the RAM to 2GB to run it smoothly. Also, this netbook is not for use on battery for long periods of time (you'll only get 2-3 hrs depending on what your doing. However, if you want a computer to play more demanding games, then this is not the computer for you. This system is just not build for gaming.

I am not 100% positive, but I think not, if so, like the previous responder says, probably wouldn't suggest getting this one for that usage. its more for game playing and internet perusing.

It has done well for the Facebook games I play. I've been happy with the graphics and speed with those games. Beyond that I have no other experience as far as games go on this system.

If you plan on using it while on the go, it would be better than using a laptop! I think it would be a good idea, better than squinting at a computer screen all day.

I neve did any gaming on mine, but I watched a substantial amount of movies on it and never had any processing troubles, so I would imagine that some light gaming would be alright. And I believe, at least mine did, came with windows 8 already installed.

facebook games (Flash games) take very little processing power. So you don't need a fast or powerful computer. My recommendation would be something with at least 4 GB RAM and an i3 processor (these would be the minimum specs for Windows 8 anyway). I am a huge fan of ASUS for their build quality in the price range.

I am looking for something lighter than a notebook to travel with that I can watch movies on, read books on as well as access the internet from time to time. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks!

I bought one of these two years ago. It was pretty old then....It would do for surfing the web...but that's about all. I wouldn't plan on doing any photo editing or game playing with this computer. I'd probably go for something newer...but it should work for surfing the web and e-mail...but not much else.
